Women look toward the future, their silhouettes dominating a canvas of geometrical shapes. The angle of their heads suggests resolve and determination directed toward clearly defined goals. "If you are positive minded and determined in life, you can achieve and receive all that you desire through hard work," Ben Agbee affirms. The women exemplify his thoughts.

His greatest hope is to continue unveiling his talents in the arts for the benefit of mankind and to the glory of God, his maker.

Born in 1966, Ben Agbee – whose full name is Benjamin Agbenyega – was the first of three children born to his father, Emmanuel Agbenyega. During his school days, he realized that creativity and art came naturally to him, and found this the easiest way of expressing ideas. He majored in art, graduating in 1989, and worked for the next four years in advertising and design. However, life was harsh and his salary barely took him to the end of the month with no opportunity to save anything. He decided to augment his monthly earnings by painting, and these sold in no time. Encouraged, he started turning out more and more intricate works, until he realized he had tapped into a talent that has been with him since birth. His family was a family of great artists, notably his uncle Victor Ameyibor, a professional artist in the Volta region of Ghana.

Agbee has participated in a series of collective exhibitions in Ghana and abroad, and also held solo exhibits in the U.S.A. (Washington, Chicago, Detroit), Canada and Holland. His greatest hope is to continue unveiling his talents in the arts for the benefit of mankind and to the glory of God, his maker.

In 2007, UNICEF selected some paintings by Ben featured in Novica to be part of their greeting card collection.

I ordered the male version of ""Determinants"" featuring three shepherds in profile and was blown away by the beauty of the painting. My framer offered to buy it from me, but I had other plans. I picked up the soft turquoise accents in the background for the wall color and it is proudly showcased on this wall in my guest room, soaking up compliments. Thank you Mr. Agbee.

Well! I've just received the painting by Mr Ben Agbee, entitled, ""The Bride""! Wow. It is MUCH better than it's representation on the website. I am most pleased. The use of color and shape could only be really experienced firsthand. And he managed to fill an image shown only in silhouette with an abundance of mood. Oh, and the Novica folks got it to me in a hurry. All in all a totally satisfying experience!
